I love to DuWop my makeup

I love to do up (DuWop) my makeup get it...oh ok sorry.  So I'm no good a making up a play on words so let's get down to what I'm trying to tell you.  This may sounds silly but when I choose my makeup brands I tend to do it by mood. I love a brand that seems to have my attitude and have a kind of edgy feel to them. I also love anything that glitters. Hey, I'm a girl.

DuWop Cosmetics has a number of products that make me want to explore the brand a little more. DuWop cosmetics has a product called "Lip Venom" which makes me think, Lip Venom huh? Ok how is this going to give me the look I want? Lip Venom is a lip plumper that uses essential oils along with nourishing oils that gloss. Ok sounds good to me.  There are several versions of the Lip Venom too.  The original as well as Twilight Venom which gives your lips a blood red bitten look, Lip Venom pink shimmer, and Lip Venom 2nd sin.   Nothing sexier then plump glossy lips right?

Now for the glitter part, that's easy. I love the Crushed Heavy Metal Metallic Eye Shadow. Three glittery metallic shades. What I love about these colors, they are great alone or to enhance one of your favorite eye colors. I love to take a smoky eyeshadow and add some metallic eyeshadow over top or to the crease of my eye lid. I think it really gives my eyes dark shimmery look.

DuWop cosmetics can be found on Apothica.com.  You'll also find some of your other favorite make up brands there as well.  Stop on over and check out the DuWop Cosmetics and you might like to DuWop your makeup too.

Valentine Handmade with Love sponsor spotlight: Concrete Minerals

The Valentine Handmade with Love Gift Hop will be happening Feb. 2-6. Many blogs will be participating. All giveaway items are handmade items. I'm so excited to be sharing my wonderful sponsors with you. The next wonderful sponsor I have is:  Concrete Minerals 

I was browsing on Etsy, as I like to do sometimes.  Concrete Minerals' Etsy shop caught my eye.  I'm a fan of mineral make up to start with.  Concrete Minerals' eye catching banner drew me in to check out what they had to offer.  With fun and intriguing names like: The Mermaid collection, Lovey Dovey, and Strobelight I started thinking....now this makeup company is for me.  I love shimmer, color, and make up that seems to have an attitude all it's own.  (Besides it's so much cooler to say "oh you like it?  Thanks, the color is Napalm")

The creator of Concrete Minerals, Emily, spent years working in the natural cosmetics industry.  I asked Emily if she would mind answering a few questions for you, my loyal readers and here's what she had to say:



1. How/why did you start your handmade business?

After working in the music industry for several years, I found myself working with some incredible companies in the natural beauty industry. This was where I found my passion in mineral makeup. I decided to launch a company that would embrace the incredible benefits of mineral makeup, yet cater to a trendier, younger generation of women looking to explore a healthier alternative to standard makeup without sacrificing the pigmentation and quality that they love.

2. What is your favorite item to create and why?

Our Electric Eye Primer. It's such a unique, hand-crafted formula that excludes all filler ingredients and preservatives and manages to rival several of the pro primers on the market today. We've received so many compliments and rave reviews, that each time I make it, I feel an incredible sense of pride.


3. Do you have any future goals or plans for your business that my readers would like to know about?

We do have SEVERAL new releases within the next few months, beginning this month with the release of a bunch of new mineral eye shadows! I can't WAIT to share these as well as the new products joining our line in March!
